Schottky Diode Vs Zener
Schottky Diode Vs Zener. 472,766 views aug 20, 2017 support me for more videos: The diode should allow current in the forward (laser on) direction, but will block current flow n the reverse direction, and the zener will take care of any leakage current.
A zener diode is just another diode that is designed to have a low and predictable reverse breakdown voltage of 6.2 volts, or 10 volts, or 15 volts or whatever that zener diode was. Zener diodes are designed to have a specified reverse bias breakdown, and these diodes are typically used in reverse bias. Schottky diodes are known for their low forward voltage (vf) and fast reverse recovery time.
